Bio/Description

I thrive on helping people get the most out of WordPress. After a career designing and building websites for clients, I now support WordPress users around the world as an Happiness Engineer on the Automattic Theme team. I enjoy spreading my passion for WordPress at WordCamps, Girl Geek Dinners, Podcamps, and other grassroots events, and encourage new public speakers. Non-WordPress hours are spent collecting vintage Pyrex mixing bowls, growing organic garlic, and cavorting with my three cats.
